I'm currently reading Ghost Boy: The Miraculous Escape of a Misdiagnosed Boy Trapped Inside His Own Body by Martin Pistorius which will work for M
I will be finished that today.

I'm still reading The Book Thief which will work for a couple. Not loving it so it's taking me a while to get through.

The other two books I will have on the go this week are Of Mice and Men and Tell No One

That book sounds so sad, let me know whether I should add it to my TBR. Although it sounds like a tear jerker.
*edit* added it anyway its got great reviews.

Read: A Matter of Time by Mary Calmes
Date: 25/07/16
Pages: 140
Characters: Sam Kage and Jory Keyes

This book ended on a bad cliff-hanger and I'm just so mad that the author is basically forcing me to read the next book

[Skandia]

I.don't.like.cliffhangers. Period.

Especially if I read just published book and next in series is out after a year or so. So off-putting.

[~~~N~~~]

True! I hate when a series has only one story arc, and you have to wait for a year between each book with no sort of conclusion or satisfaction.

Read: The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
Pages: 277
Characters: Mowgli, Bagheera, Baloo, Shere Kan, Rikki Tikki Tavi

I loved this book! It's amazing, Gah, I get why it's a classic.

I've been out of the house since 9 am and only just got home 10 mins ago, so I have no idea how I managed to read so much.

I'm a little worn out after the last couple of days. Might take a nap. Hope everyone's had a good Tuesday :)

[~~~N~~~]

P.S. It's shorter than the page count might suggest *nudge nudge* If anyone is in the mood for it. The ending is everything I found lacking in both movie adaptations (though I like both).

It was an excellent book.

[~~~N~~~]

I read it a couple of years ago, and while I remember liking it, I definitely didn't love it. I tend to be picky with classics though.

I'll definitely enjoy it. The couch is calling to me, lol.
